This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Drawing Sword episode three:
Headquarters.
Li Yunlong and the brigadier general were on the phone.
“Tell me the truth. How much equipment did you acquire this time?”
“Not much. It’s just one cavalry’s worth of equipment. I’m planning to form a cavalry battalion myself.”
“Look at you, trying to start a cavalry battalion with just a company under you. If that’s the case, then shouldn’t my brigade form a cavalry regiment?”
“Yes, of course you should. As a brigadier general, having a cavalry regiment isn’t much.”
“Cut your crap! You can keep a company’s worth of horses to brag. Send the remainder to my brigade.”
“Brigadier General, that’s daylight robbery! You might as well just shoot me. No way. I’m not doing that.”
…
Meanwhile, Drawing Sword’s film crew were laughing and chatting.
“Hahaha, Li Jing, you really managed to portray Li Yunlong’s shamelessness perfectly.”
“That’s all thanks to Young Master Ye’s wonderful guidance.”
“It’s so interesting with the compact plot.”
“Everyone’s personalities were portrayed fully. Hahaha, it’s really interesting to watch.”
“You guys actually managed to make a military themed series popular!”
“While it’s tense, it didn’t lose out on entertainment value. The plot is very well written.”
“Li Yunlong is just too amiable. The character profiles from the other military personnels are nicely done too.”
“Now I feel bad. Why is Young Master Ye so good at everything?!”
…
Elsewhere, at Zhang Tao’s recording studio.
“Our episode today is quite good.”
“That’s right. The ratings will surely continue growing!”
“Can we catch up to Drawing Sword?”
“Of course. The difference in ratings for the first two episodes are not that far apart.”
“That’s right. Military themed series will inevitably turn into some overpowered storyline later on. It won’t last long. We can definitely overtake them later on.”
“Just wait. The results will be out soon.”
…
Huang Xing’s recording studio.
Everyone felt anxious.
“Ahhh, we must catch up today!”
“How can our popularity be lower than Actor Y? This doesn’t make sense!”
“Drawing Sword only attracted the viewers because of the action packed opening. A TV series filmed in one and a half months will definitely be sloppy. It’ll crash and burn later. Relax!”
“Our episode is going to tug at their emotions with the romance between the couple. The ratings will surely be explosive!”
…
One hour, two hours…
Episode three, episode four…
Before 10pm, all three series were done showing at the same time.
Weibo turned active as the netizens once again started speculating about the ratings. That had already turned into the center of attention for everyone.
The sudden rise of Drawing Sword left everyone flabbergasted. It made the competition between the TV series even more interesting. Everyone wanted to know what kind of surprises were waiting for them later. Which series would be the last one laughing?
[Relentless Swordsman is so interesting!]
[That’s right. The action scenes are lit. Although Zhang Tao was quite a wuss, he’s still very handsome!]
[The realistic action scenes are just amazing with all those stunning effects.]
[Best Time is also wonderful. The male and female lead are both so lovable.]
[Both of them are of very different genres.]
[It seems today’s ratings are going to be a surprise again.]
[I feel that Drawing Sword might lose the lead.]
[The previous poster must not have watched Drawing Sword. I personally think that little fresh meats are no match for Actor Y.]
[Just wait and see.]
[This time, it’ll be final.]
…
That night, countless people were unable to sleep because of the excitement. Some die hard fans were debating late into the night on which of the TV series was the better one. They even cut out interesting scenes for analysis and comparison.
The next day, the ratings for all three series were finally announced!
The moment it was announced, the media, the industry, and general public were all stunned!
Relentless Swordsman:
Episode three ratings: 1.22%
Episode four ratings: 1.13%
Best Time:
Episode three ratings: 1.16%
Episode four ratings: 1.03%
Drawing Sword:
Episode three ratings: 2.38%
Episode four ratings: 2.56%
[F*ck! What the f*ck?!]
[Is that for real? Are you kidding me?]
[That can’t be it. It’s unbelievable!]
[This world is crazy. My eyes must be playing tricks on me!]
[F*ck, cheater! Drawing Sword must be cheating!]
Relentless Swordsman and Best Time’s ratings dropped and were hovering at the edge of 1%. Judging from those results, it would go lower than 1% the next day!
Meanwhile, Drawing Sword surprised everyone. The premier was already heaven defying. Nevertheless 1.66% was just the beginning. That day, they had broken past 2%. The growth was just terrifying!
When compared, Drawing Sword’s results sent the little fresh meats into despair!
That was just the fourth episode. If the trend continued, just what heights would Drawing Sword reach?
…
Zhang Tao’s recording studio.
Taotao’s handsome face was white as a sheet. “How is this possible?”
The others were just as stunned.
“F*ck my life!”
“T-t-this is just f*cking monstrous!”
…
Huang Xing’s recording studio.
“Just what kind of godly series is Drawing Sword?”
“Damn it, what a monster!”
“F*ck it. How can we even think of catching up?! This is crazy.”
“That’s 2.56%. That’s the goal we have set, yet Drawing Sword managed to hit it so effortlessly?”
“Why? I don’t understand!”
…
China Central TV Headquarters.
Bureau Chief Liu stood up without regards for his image. “F*ck! How is it this amazing?!”
“That’s right. It’s too amazing!”
“We’ve struck gold!”
“Our China Central TV’s ratings just crushed all the other TV series. This is unbelievable!”
“F*ck me. This is the first time series with political elements in it overtaking the celebrities series! We’re making history!”
Disbelief, excitement, despair, terror, and all sorts of emotions were shown. Everyone had differing reactions.
The entertainment industry was no longer like before.
All in all, Drawing Sword was a big hit!
In just one night, it turned into a major hit across the country!
Relentless Swordsman and Best Time had already dropped out silently, no longer talked about by others. At that point, Drawing Sword was the topic discussed by everyone.
The next morning.
Not many knew about Ye Lingchen’s phone number. Instead, it was Xiao Feifei and Li Tai’s phone that rang continuously.
A filming company was looking for them.
“Director Xiao.”
“Director Feng.”
“I’d like to collaborate with you on a new movie.”
“Let’s discuss that some other time. We have no such plans for now.”
“We can invest in your company right away. Is two hundred million sufficient? You’ll have full reign over the movie. Scripts, actor picks, filming process, and all else. We promise not to interfere at all. Please reconsider.”
“We’ll talk about it some other time.”
All the major TV stations called over as well.
“Director Li, are you planning to film another project? What are you filming?”
“Chairman Zhao, we don’t even have a script yet.”
“Director Li, we’re considered old friends. You’ve had quite a few works aired on my station. You must choose our station for the next series.”
“We’ll talk about it again. We don’t have anything planned as of yet.”
“You must contact us if you plan anything, alright? Prime time slot, copyright fees, advertising fees, we’ll definitely give you a satisfying arrangement!”
